Lombardi is a new york instituation, however, it certainly did not serve the best pizza in town, much less in the world, as the menu claimed (For the record, the best pizza I've had so far was in a diner close to the main port in Capri). The crust was thin, but not baked to a chewy perfection, nor charred to a crusty smokiness. The tomato was forgettable, in fact I suspect it was not house-made. The toppings were scarce and ridiculous - they called a few slivers of brown mushroom wild? Service was mediocre, though I didn't have to wait. To be fair, this would be a local delight if it were in a regular suburb, and decoration is charming. But New York has too many better options. Next time I'm going over to the Midwood place to try.
Pros: Decoration
Cons: Ok pizza, spotty service
